Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Israel is a CEO and co-founder with deep expertise in computer vision, UAVs, thermal imaging and GIS, combining 12+ years of applied experience with a PhD in Geoinformatics and over 18 years of software development. He led the spin-off thermal DRONES from DLR to build purpose-built thermal drones and software—like POIStudio and the Wildretter app—that materially improved speed and reliability of wildlife detection and rehkitz rescue. His background spans the full stack of sensing systems: camera and sensor calibration, photogrammetry, sensor fusion, embedded hardware and PCB design, plus server and web stacks. As a former DLR research scientist and hands-on engineer he translated academic R&D into operational products that are faster and more reliable than conventional methods. He balances systems-level project leadership with low-level implementation skills across Python, C/C++, Java and embedded toolchains. Based in Bavaria, he brings a rare blend of field-proven UAV systems, thermal analytics and product-first entrepreneurship.
